IBM has opened a new branch office in Senegal, Africa, as part of the company’s geographic expansion initiative to strategically increase its presence in key growth markets.
The new subsidiary will enable IBM to deliver high-value offerings and services to meet the growing needs of clients in Senegal and West Africa.
IBM said that the new subsidiary will allow the company to increase its level of service, and deliver complex and high-value offerings such as cloud computing and business analytics.
The new branch office is part of IBM’s West Africa operations and will complement the company’s other West African branch offices in Accra, Ghana and Lagos, Nigeria, which acts as a hub for business in the region.
IBM growth markets general manager Bruno Di Leo said the expansion into Senegal demonstrates the company’s commitment to the African market as they work to build out high-value offerings for their clients and partners across the continent.
"Dakar will become one of more than 230 IBM branch offices across 54 growth market countries. Our success in Africa is a pivotal part of our overall growth markets strategy. Expanding into Senegal offers IBM a significant opportunity for doing business with suitable market conditions, established IT infrastructure, telecommunications and transportation," Di Leo said.
